How to Send G-code to RAMPS 1.4
January 22, 2014 10:54AM
Hi guys

I am using repetiter-host and printrun sometimes to operate my Mendel i2. Unfortunately, when I wanted to see my parameters from EEPROM using gcode m501, it didn't respond. Neither repetiter nor printrun worked.

Why?

Thanks.

I think M501 only loads settings from the eeprom, i dont think it returns them over serial

Well but it DID return with my old printrboard... The motors moved all right so the RAMPS probably has received the code.

It doesn't matter which board you use. Whether or not there is a returned result depends on the firmware you are running.

m503 displays current eeprom settings. If its enabled in firmware

OK, I don't think in my firmware it's allowed. So how can I read that?

Thanks

So, can I actually send m92 code and m500 save to set my machine? m503 didn't let the computer display the printer's setting, am I still able to send g code?
